Bugzilla Bug 136983

As suggested by a forum post:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-402101-highlight-ntop+hangs.html
it seems that adding the following example to
/etc/conf.d/ntop: 
NTOP_OPTS="-u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --disable-schedyield --http-server 3000
--https-server 3001 --interface br0" 
(or similar)
could be useful especially since --disable-schedyield may avoid hanging ntop.

This "enhancement" could be added to the ebuild.

I can reproduce the bug.
Can you put the output of emerge --info

(In reply to comment #1)
I can't reproduce the bug (typing error)

missing use flag

And can you put the output of:

ebuilds that support building both linuxthreads and nptl.

build system determine when it is safe to use -fomit-frame-pointer
 - - linuxthreads-tls : Configure the linuxthreads glibc with --with-__thread
if supported by your system.  --with-tls is always enabled if supported and is
NOT controlled by this switch.  So the glibc built will always support TLS
binaries.  This toggle chooses whether or not glibc itself uses TLS.  If you're
concerned about backwards compatibility with old binaries, leave this off.
 - - profile          : Adds profile support to builds of packages (will likely
vary from ebuild to ebuild in support)

added in -r3

Small typo in ntop-confd with user argument passing in suggestion.
